Mike Bickle is the president of the International House of Prayer (IHOP) and president of Friends of the Bridegroom, and co-founder of The Joseph Company of Kansas City.
Christian ministry
Bickle was formerly the pastor of the Kansas City Fellowship. In that role, during the 1980s and 1990s, he was senior pastor of the group known as the "Kansas City Prophets." This group included Bob Jones, John Paul Jackson, Paul Cain, and Francis Frangipane.
Criticism
Bickle's theology and methods have been criticized by other ministers and ministries as well as cult-watch groups. Criticism of Bickle has spanned several decades, from contemporary critic Rev. Keith Gibson, director of the Kansas City office of the Apologetics Resource Center to City Pastor, Rev. Ernie Gruen, who authored a report entitled "Documentation of the Aberrant Practices and Teaching of the Kansas City Fellowship (Grace Ministries)" in 1990. It was around this time that Bickle and his church affiliated with John Wimber and the Association of Vineyard Churches (AVC)
